Filmed and edited over the course of one weekend in March as part of the International Documentary Challenge 2008, this film tells the story of Yaeko Nakano and her struggles during World War II, when hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans were relocated to internment camps across the country. Through her Buddhist faith, her music, and the love of her husband, Mrs. Nakano survived this dark period of American history and now vows that her country will persecute its people "never again."
Things like these need to be shown in high schools. This was a part of history I never learned in school- I had to learn it on my own, which is a tragic thing. That's how stuff gets repeated.
